Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from questions 39 to 43.
Travel allows us to explore different places and learn about different cultures. But today many tourists want to
have a positive impact on the places they visit. They believe that it’s important to respect the local people, help
the local economy, and avoid harming the environment. These are the goals of the movement called
“ecotourism.” Interested tourists can find a variety of ecotourism destinations.

Punta Laguna on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is a village of Mayans who participate in ecotourism.
The men take turns guiding visitors through the large wildlife reserve that protects the local monkeys, birds,
and other animals. They also take tourists on hikes in the jungle or on canoe trips. Similarly, the women take
turns selling their crafts, including traditional clothing, wall hangings, and jewellery. In this way, everyone in
the community shares in the profits from tourism.
In New Zealand, you can take a two-week bicycle tour that includes visiting glaciers and seeing ocean
wildlife. Bicycling is an ideal way to tour without harming the environment. You can also tour a farm where
you can watch sheep shearing and help with tasks such as milking cows. If you prefer, you can travel through
the Marlborough Sounds with a Maori family on their boat. You will learn about the sea animals and birds you
see. You will sleep and eat on the boat and visit with other Maori along the way. You will experience a different
culture and at the same time, contribute to the tourism that is so important for the Maori economy. You can
learn more about eco-destinations online and in the travel sections of the newspaper. So make your choice and
have fun!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from questions 44 to 50.
Our natural inclination to help others in need runs extremely deep within our mammalian heritage –
there’re many examples of altruism in primates and it's even been demonstrated in mice. This generosity,
prevalent across human cultures, has psychological and health benefits for us all as individuals. Now
researchers have also found evidence that generosity helps people in societies live longer - regardless of their
wealth levels.
Researchers found that the more people shared resources between generations, the lower the society's
mortality rate – death rate was. They found people in France and Japan, the societies with the lowest mortality
rates, shared around 69 percent of their lifetime incomes. Whereas countries like China and Turkey, who shared
less than 50 percent, had doubled the risk of death for someone over 65 in the coming year. South Africa had
low rates of sharing, and despite being economically more developed than neighbouring countries, their
mortality rate remained similar in comparison - suggesting that their relative wealth didn't necessarily make up
for their lack of sharing.
This isn't the first study to suggest that transferring resources, even through formal support systems,
benefits the givers too, as well as providing obvious support for those in need. "Human beings around the world
derive emotional benefits from using their financial resources to help others (prosocial spending)," a study
from 2013 stated. It's even been shown that providing support and care has a protective effect against mortality
for the provider. Generosity is linked to increased happiness and may promote stronger social connectedness.
Findings like these are more important than ever. They provide evidence of a path into the future
that could make our societies stronger, despite the massive losses in resources many of us are now facing. Of
course, transferring resources across generations doesn't just mean money, the researchers explain. It can also
include homes, and sharing other benefits such as knowledge between generations, or even volunteering time.
